I currently have a mustang 960 skid loader that has been an excellent machine for me. I have done the normal maintenance on it and put a water pump in it. Other than that I have done nothing to it except use it. I have thought about upgrading to something a little newer with heat for feeding cows and plowing snow. I always thought it would be another mustang because of the great machine this one has been. I have the opportunity to buy a S185 from a guy I know that bought it new. I'm not exactly sure on the year, I'm thinking 2005 or 2006. It has the door with heat, bucket and forks with it. The machine has 950 hours on it. It has been shedded most every night. Paint is in nice shape and no rust. It was used for plowing snow on a long drive way and he would carry firewood in the bucket to fill his woodshed. So I believe e it has had a pretty easy life. Sounds like I can get into this for that $20,000 range. Is this a fair price? Are there issues with these machines or are they pretty solid? Anything I should take a closer look at before I would make the purchase if I do decided to go that route? Thanks in advance.
